Hello, my name is Milthon Fernan, I am a professional tour guide, I also have a diploma in heritage interpretation. Prepare myself every day in what I love to do the most: guide, showing the culture and surroundings of my city to locals and foreigners with dedication, courage and passion, they are stimulating incentives to give the best of me, to each visitor. You will surely have a great time.
In this Free tour, I will tell you the history of the city of Santa Marta and its interesting colonial historic center, simultaneously following in detail the last days of the liberator Simon Bolivar in the oldest Hispanic city in South America.
On December 1, 1830, Simón Bolívar, liberator of 5 nations, arrived in the city of Santa Marta, to die 17 days later at 1 in the afternoon in the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. That's the script that the city's tour guides have to stick to.
Simón Bolívar remained buried for almost 12 years in the Basilica Cathedral of Santa Marta; However, many are unaware that his remains were about to be thrown into the Caribbean Sea, equally, they are also unaware that the distinguished hero was buried 3 times in the emblematic cathedral long before being transferred to his native Caracas, Venezuela, where he was buried 3 more times, adding 6 burials and 7 funerals.
Simón Bolívar died a natural death?
Simon Bolivar was betrayed by his resentful nephew Fernando Bolivar, who would hand him over to the Americans in Cartagena de Indias?
He was assassinated by the US Navy in Cartagena and his defective body was transferred to the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino?
The Frances Alejandro Prospero Reverend, the only doctor who treated him while he was alive, overstepped his duties and ended the life of the Liberator?
Why did Monsignor Estévez, bishop of the cathedral, not give absolution to the liberator and did he not officiate at the hero's funeral?
Were they scientific or esoteric purposes that motivated Hugo Chávez, being president of Venezuela, to exhume his remains on Friday, July 16, 2010?
Was the curse of Simon Bolivar going to hang over Hugo Chávez and all the officials who had to do with the last exhumation of the liberator's remains?
I know you would like to accompany me on this interesting journey; We will clear up doubts, assumptions and conjectures on the tour that begins in the Port Sector, the place where the liberator was received on December 1, 1830, the Customs House and the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino.
In the end, your own conclusions will allow you to decide about the real death of the South American hero.

The value of the entrance to the Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino and transportation to the historic center of the city, are paid by the walker.
In the event that the walker requires vehicular transport to move and mobilize during the Freetour, or from your hotel to the attractions, I have the contacts for that purpose.
I will be at the main entrance of La Quinta de San Pedro Alejandrino. You will easily identify me, I will be wearing a shirt or t-shirt previously identified with my name and profession.
